Writing Magazine October

Writing the Virus: New Work from StatORec Magazine draws from writing published in the online literary magazine StatORec from mid-April to September 2020. Its 31 authors explore the experience of lockdown, quarantine, social distancing, and the politicization of the virus from a wide variety of perspectives. The majority of the texts were written exclusively for the Brooklyn- and Berlin-based journal, and a keen sense of urgency prevails throughout, an understanding that the authors are chronicling something, responding to something that is changing them and the social fabric all around them.

Learn how to bring more self-care and creativity into your life with personal insights about the writing process, inspiring prompts, poems, and daily devotionals from award-winning poet James Crews.
